ahhh, here it is already Brooklyn Day 2 and I’m posting late. Only because I am having fun!

Clare and Aaron are always the best hosts- good food, drinks, conversation and inspiration! 🙂

Yesterday was screamin’ hot (32c+ = 91) and majorly humid. Initially I had big ideas and plans which were melted down to just hanging in the hood due to the crazy heat! No problem really, I luv Brooklyn so it was fun just wandering.

I picked up snacks for Penland at Park Organics (more snacks) and some bulk items at Trader Joe’s (I ❤ Trader Joe’s!!).

On my way I passed by Vinnie’s Iron Works. Vinnies place is pretty cool. There’s a Madonna up on the roof in a glass box.

Then, thinking of Andrei I snapped this picture of Cobble Hill Cinemas…

And, couldn’t resist a Blue Marble ice cream! Their chocolate blackberry is amazing! :}

It was too hot so I just headed back to Clare’s and took a nap… later she came home and fixed this super yummy chickpea burgers!

Later we went out to the Bell House in Gowanus and grabbed a pint.. then headed to Brooklyn Social to meet Danielle (Maveal-Etsy girl!) and have some Campari Negronis.

Random pix I took on our way up Smith.
